THANK YOU
It seems that I am always thanking you, my Xanga family for your support, love and prayers. Your comments have truly comforted me at this time. I miss my little girl so much. <sigh>
I was preparing the Xanga entry below the day before my furry little girl died. So without further ado, here are some photos from my vacation:
Prior to stopping at our aunt's house, we were able to visit my high school friend Carol in Gallup, NM:
Below is our only great aunt that we have left in our family: Aunt Emma and her daughter Dolores. Aunt Emma was so sweet when our mother was battling cancer, she would write to our mother often, supporting her in her battle.
Below are Debie and our cousin Angelo. Angelo fell in love with Debbie last year. Usually I am the "babe" magnet, but not in this case:
Below is THE best cook in New Mexico, my Aunt Rosemary and her family:
A beautiful sunset in New Mexico:
My mother's brothers, Bobby and Albert:
Uncle Bobby's family:
Our cousins Rosalie, Jeanette, Charlotte, my sis Debbie and a goat that escaped from it's pen. My cousin Charlotte works at a goat cheese farm and she took us for a little tour of the farm:
More goat pics:
The goats reminded me of my little girl because of the shape of their bodies. The little ones were like Twiggy's like Mandy. They were so cute.
Tonight Debbie and I are going to a PFLAG (Parents, Families/Friends of Lesbians and Gays) meeting. This is our first meeting so it should be interesting.
I hope you all are doing well. I'll be by to visit your sites later. I'm sorry I've been absent. I'm sure you all understand. I've got to remind myself to get rid of that doggone perpetual frown from my face. The same one that I had when Christopher died. <sigh>
You all have a wonderful Wednesday and be sure to hug your families.

Believe me, I truly understand how you feel, my dear, dear friend. She would not want you to be sad. How is Chili doing? Big (((HUGS))).
I'm so sorry about Mandy. Nothing can replace the loss of a favorite friend, but it seems like you have an abundant group of family and friends to help you along in the grieving process.
I haven't been a reader long enough to know about Christopher.
Have a great day!
Hi sweetie- we have been out camping and I missed that your little girl died and I am just so sorry. It is strange that as soon as I read that - I teared up. Not only have I got to know and love you- I also got to know her and love her. And I am truly sadden about her dieing . But I also know that she is with your mom now and both of them are running and playing and feeling no more pain. I love you my sweet friends. Big Hugs!
Hi Janice. I hope your heart is healing a little. You did such a courageous thing for Mandy...you are the best mommy ever to your furry babies. I hope Chili is ok and comforting you. You have the most beautiful family I swear. Those pictures are just lovely. I can feel the love all the way over here!! BIG HUGS to you sweetie sent with lots of love!!!
And yet MORE family memebers!!! There must be hundreds of them!!! But I see they all have big smiles on their faces. One huge and loving family. Wonderful.
And then..there you are, smiling and loving on the goats. That's exactly where I'd be too!! I love you.
Angelo is a cutie pie. Hey, you can't get all the guys!!! You have to learn to share sometimes. hahaha..
Hugs! I am sure you miss little Mandy lots. I pray that the pain is letting up a little bit for you.
It is so nice that you got to see so much of your family on your trip. Angelo looks like a little ham! What a cutie! And the little goats are darling!
I'm trying to catch up after my trip and I was heart broken to hear about Mandy! I love ya and wish I could help you feel better but only time can help. There aren't any words but if I lived close to you I would try to comfort you as much as I could. You are a sweetheart and deserve the best days.
